re: Is it reckless to bunker bomb a nuclear enrichment site?

It will be deeply buried. Anything airborn will be vaporized.

A dirty bomb wouldn’t produce an explosion any larger than the conventional weapon that explodes it and the amount of radiation released would be very limited. We have to do terrorist event training every few years

I think he's asking about the nuclear material the conventional bomb will affect
What he is saying is if there is enriched uranium and we drop a bomb to destroy the facility does the radiation element get destroyed or does it sit underground leaching into the ground? Does it cause issues if someone uncovers the rubble? Does it go poof during the destruction?

It would remain underground until recovered but yes it would sicken anyone who came into contact with it

Yeah but no one lives there.

I expected a much better answer. Ad hominem ... anyways, you can do better.

No one knows.
As far as we know, they haven't been enriching to weapons grade at all.
Let's not forget, Israel started this war by attacking 1st with a cache of drones that were strategically planted in Iran. This took years to place and setup.... Make of that what you will.
Oh, and for good measure....
Bibi - it was IRAN that was trying to assassinate Trump. Now please destroy Iran for us America!
The propaganda works. Look at the dummies on this site falling for it.

Better than them having a nuke.

No. The two atom bombs developed in WWII were an implosion device and a device that shot enriched uranium into a ball of uranium that made it go critical. The implosion device surrounded uranium fuel and the implosion send the fuel together and it went critical. It seems implosion devices are the preferred type now. Enriched uranium scattered about by a penetrating bomb won't go critical. It will just be nasty stuff.
I'm neither a physicist nor a nuclear engineer. They can chime in if they want.

Naaa,it will be fine

If it is involved in the explosion? Will it burn up or remain intact?

You left out Death to America.

I was wondering this as well, if you bomb the site with a conventional bomb and there is nuclear material in the blast, isn't it going to effectively be a dirty bomb that affects the surrounding area?
I really have no clue, but wouldn't remain underground?? Everything caving in on top of it?
I don't think a bunker buster would cause a nuclear reaction.....???

the mechanism for creating nuclear fission isn’t triggered by a conventional explosion. It probably would release some radioactive material but not enough for any real damage.
This. There might be some radio active material ejected. But without fission there would be no real danger from lasting radioactive exposure.

We do KNOW they are/were enriching uranium in a very secretive manner underground. It wasn’t for nuclear power

This is exactly what I was wondering and asking.
I am not advocating for r against doing nothing to stop Iran from further enrichment so calm the frick down with the well its better than Iran having nuclear bomb capability.
What are the potential effects to that area? Does it turn into another Chernoble type of a site? That shite tucked up a huge area. I have to assume they will be blowing up radioactive materials . There will be some sort of fallout.

That has nothing to do with this thread. Start your own shite and let people reply to this as they have the other 100 threads on the same topic.

It would make a nasty radioactive mess much like Chernobyl or Fukushima. We park our nasty crap (the big stuff not the smaller reactors like Oak Hill in Tennessee) out in the middle of the desert away from population centers. They parked their nasty crap near population centers to deter bombing. That was a bad gamble on their part.

It doesn’t turn into Chernobyl. Chernobyl had a nuclear meltdown that is still technically active
